My servant will, justify the many as He will bear their iniquities. v. 11

There was a price for my righteousness.

Life through death

Life comes through a most unexpected way: Life through death.

His suffering bought my life:

Life, eternal

Life, for tomorrow

Life, full today.

Run or Follow?

For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps… 1 Peter 2:21

Follow in His steps.

His steps included:

Tears

Sorrow

Suffering.

His life in me includes these things aswell.

A life of purpose– one with meaning, joy and depth, will include these things as well.

Following and not Running

Tears can capture true joy. For once they possess it, they soon know the difference between “happy” and “joy.”
Sorrow creates life, for it makes a gift to share with others
Suffering brings depth, if we let it.

If I want true:
Joy
Meaning
Depth

Then there will be:
Tears
Sorrow
Suffering

Yet, if forsaken, I am not alone. There will be hope of joy in the morning, and the assurance of life after the death. …to follow in His steps.
